Almost Grasped, But Not Quite

POINTS OF VIEW
(Joey Albert)

Look, it’s happened once again
It happens every now and then
Feeling the hurt and hating all the men
Ready to stop it all
That’s when I need a friendly face
To see me through these lonely days
Just to put some sunshine in my place
Don’t take too long I need you
Here I am
I haven’t gone that far away
And since I am
That kind of friend you know
Would stay with you through all the pain
Never to leave you in the rain
Ready to listen to what you’ve been through
Your woes and blues and share each other’s
Points of view
We’ve been there once before
And kept our points of view
It doesn’t really matter if they’re never
quite the same
We have our rules in different ways
We play the games of different folks with
different strokes
And keep our points of view
See the world seems bright again
It only darkens now and then
Most of the time there’s just no telling when
Look up and see you’ve got me
Here we are
We may have gone our different ways
But since we are
The kind of friends who’ll always stay
No matter what the pain
Learning to love that cap o rain
Ready to say we’re here to stay in every way
Although we’e got our different…
Points of view
We’ve been there once before
And kept our points of view
It doesn’t really matter if they’re never
quite the same
We have our rules in different ways
We play the games of different folks with
different strokes
And keep our points of view
Points of view
We’ve been there once before
And kept our points of view
It doesn’t really matter if they’re never
quite the same
We have our rules in different ways
We play the games of different folks with
different strokes
And keep our points of view

(Dedicated kay Florence… kasi siya ang nagbigay sa aming friendship ng ‘theme song’.  Honestly, hindi ko alam but then, I really don’t mind having one. Sweet n’ya noh?! Haha! Marami akong natutunan sa high school. At ngayon na marami na ang mga taong lumipas <as if! haha! four years lang naman…>, andami na ring nagbago. Pero one thing is for sure, para sa mga taong naging bahagi ng high school life naming magkakaibigan <camille, cath, grace, flo, donna>, hindi namin gugustuhing magkasalubong tayo one of these days na parang hindi na magkakilala. And then we’ll suddenly realize na we’re looking into a stranger’s face but whose eyes are so familiar. Hindi ba nakakainis?!)

Salamat sa magandang idea ni Ramil na sinegundahan naman nina Anj, Candice and Kel… hindi namin matatawag ang mga sarili namin ngayon na ‘bum’. Haha! Enjoy pala gumawa ng documentary na matino noh?! In fairness, masaya ang topic natin. And the side information tungkol sa stamp collecting eh nakakaengganyo (although hindi ko masyadong maabsorb yung sinabi ni ma’am nena dahil may sakit ako… ewan, dahil yata sa init! argh!). Pati yung sa post office… astig pala maging kartero noh?! (Apply kaya tayo?! Haha!)

This coming May 28, my grandparents will be celebrating their golden wedding anniversary (kaya naman busy-busyhan din ako sa paggawa ng invitations and souvenirs). O, sino pa ba sa panahon ngayon ang umaabot ng 50 years sa kanilang marriage?! Side celebration din ang 8th birthday ng cousin ko (Samantha) at grad blowout ko (although isang buwan na ang nakakaraan since I officially graduated college). Sa mga gustong pumunta, sige lang. Text n’yo ako. Haha!

HERE’S TO THE NIGHT
by Eve 6

So denied
So I lied
Are you the now or never kind
In a day
And a day love
I’m gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing
To be had
Are you cool
With just tonight

Here’s a toast
To all those who hear me all too well

Here’s to the nights
We felt alive
Here’s to the tears
You knew you’d cry
Here’s to goodbye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon

Put your name
On the line
Along with place and time
Wanna stay
Not to go
I wanna ditch the logical

Here’s a toast
To all those who here me all too well

Here’s to the nights
We felt alive
Here’s to the tears
You knew you’d cry
Here’s to goodbye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon

All my time is froze in motion
Can’t I stay an hour or two or more
Don’t let me let you go
Don’t let me let you go

Here’s a toast
To all those who here me all too well

Here’s to the nights
We felt alive
Here’s to the tears
You knew you’d cry
Here’s to goodbye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon
Too soon
Here’s to the nights we felt alive
Here’s to the tears you knew you’d cry
Here’s to goodbye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon

(Aaw…Ang theme song ng UST Batch 2005. Kasi ito yung song nung baccalaureate mass tsaka nung graduation day mismo. Anyway, congratulations Batch 2005! Maging productive at successful sana tayong lahat. Miss ko na ang JRN2! Argh!)

Pictures na yata ang buong buhay ko. Ako ang keeper ng memories. Well, pasensya dahil mahilig talaga ako sa pictures. (Take note: Pictures ang hilig ko. Hindi ang magpapicture! Harhar! Well, sige na nga, a little bit. Dahil yan sa impluwensya nina Anj!)
Kaya naman ako nagtyatyaga sa blog na ito ay dahil na rin sa photo albums. (Karirin daw ba?!?)

ABNORMAL SEASONS
The SEASONS albums are lovingly dedicated to the three best persons I met…
Para sa aking spring na si KEL, para sa aking summer na si IVEE and para sa aking autumn na si ANJ… salamat sa apat na masasayang taon sa kolehiyo. (sniff, sniff)
Sa walang sawang paninira ng buhay (na by the way eh expert na tayong apat…)
Sa librong walang patutunguhan (ang SILENCE na na-memorize na natin ang laman…)
Sa walang katapusang pictorials and shoots (pwede na tayong mag-artista. swear! haha!)
Sa lahat lahat lahat… (you know what I mean…)
Hindi ko pa naabsorb na hindi na tayo papasok next school year.
SPRING.SUMMER.WINTER.AUTUMN.
Seasons may change.
KEL.IVEE.JAJA.ANJ
But we will always remain…
(Drama na ito! Tigilan! Haha!)
